CH 87
Wang Cheng and Chu Yifeng had lunch together. At half-past one, they separated, one returning to the company and the other driving back to the Guan’s Village.
Because Chu Yifeng was near the company in less than five minutes, although he was late, no one dared say it to him. Now the company was gradually on track and the number of employees was increasing. The atmosphere in the company was not as casual as before.
Seeing Chu Yifeng, employees had a hint of awe in their eyes. Although the seniors said that the boss could often be seen in the company now, the boss still felt so mysterious and unattainable.
"Have you noticed that the boss's mood looks good today?" Female colleague A at the front desk glanced innocently at the boss's upright and handsome back. ‘I was right to choose this company. I didn't expect the boss to be such a young and handsome man.’ She then secretly told this another female colleague at the front desk.
After Tang Sisi was fired, the company recruited two more front desk workers again. They looked beautiful, and they were both women, but they didn’t think things they shouldn’t like Tang Sisi. They were more responsible.
"You're dazzled." Female colleague B rolled her eyes. The boss always wore a salty and indifferent expression every day. She really couldn’t see where the boss looked like he was in a good mood. There was a limit to her imagination.
"You're just dazzled. I only thought the boss was in a good mood." Female colleague A did not explain to her when she heard that she did not agree with her point of view. Sometimes, you could tell someone’s mood from more than just their facial expressions. Although she didn’t understand it much, she could feel it.
On the other side, Wang Cheng received Yuan Xia's call halfway home.
He and Yuan Xia hadn’t seen each other for a long time. When he was still working at Huaying Real Estate, he would occasionally meet with Yuan Xia on a rest day and have a meal or something. Because their age was not much different, when they talked, there was no barrier at all.
In his impression, Yuan Xia had always been a very gentle person with a cheerful personality, but when the phone was just picked up, Yuan Xia had a tense and urgent voice.
"XX Street, XX Road, come and save me."
As soon as the inexplicable words were finished, the call was hung up. Wang Cheng didn’t even have time to say a word. He was surprised, but without thinking about it, he immediately turned the car and went to the address that Yuan Xia said. Thanks to Yuan Xia, every time the two went out for dinner, Yuan Xia would take him to a place he liked. The address he said was one of the places he used to take him to eat, because that was one of Yuan Xia’s favorite places. So they had been there two or three times, and Wang Cheng already knew the way by heart.
It was a little far away. It took him a while to get there, but he didn't see Yuan Xia on XX Road.
Wang Cheng was not discouraged. He rushed over for a while. Yuan Xia may have moved to another place, but he must be nearby. He drove inch by inch and looked around, while pulling out his cell phone to call Yuan Xia's cell phone. Then, he kept trying.
It was now past three o'clock in the afternoon, and there were very few people on the street. After two or three minutes, Wang Cheng saw a dim alley with a few pulling figures. Take a closer look, one of them was Yuan Xia, being towed and dragged by several other men.
A bright beam of light came in, accompanied by a few short car horns. The several people in the alley were taken aback. When they turned around, they saw a car parked at the alley. The glare of the lights made them subconsciously raise their hands to block their eyes.
Yuan Xia looked happy, he recognized it as Wang Cheng's car.
At this pause, Wang Cheng had already stepped down from the car. He didn't turn off the lights, and when facing him, those people couldn't see him at all.
"Get away, don't worry about this." A man with a scar on his face said this fiercely to Wang Cheng, who he thought was a passerby.
"It's you who should get away. What do you want to do with my friend?" Wang Cheng clenched his fist. After fighting with Chu Yifeng last time, he hadn’t scuffled with anyone for a while, and his hands were itching to.
Hearing this, the scarred-man’s men were all shocked. They had previously investigated Yuan Xia’s situation before, and today he was obviously the only one who came here to eat. How could someone he know suddenly run out here? Someone had ordered them to do this and things were to be kept secret. The scar-faced man soon calmed down and immediately gave a hint to the two men, who understood and walked towards Wang Cheng with no good intentions.
"Wang Cheng, they are not good people, you have to be careful." Yuan Xia suddenly regretted it. The three people who wanted to catch him were not ordinary thugs at first glance. He really shouldn't have let Wang Cheng come over into these muddy waters, but he soon found that his worries were superfluous.
As soon as one of the scarred-man’s men rushed over, Wang Cheng knocked him down with one punch, and the other was startled. Before he could react, Wang Cheng's fist fell on his face, and the man collapsed to the ground, clutching his sore face. He didn't get up for a while after that, they couldn't relax their viligance.
The scar-faced man was also startled, immediately throwing off Yuan Xia and rushing towards Wang Cheng. His skill was better than two men, but he was resolved by Wang Cheng in three or two moves.
"You ..." Yuan Xia looked at Wang Cheng in surprise.
"Leave here first." Wang Cheng pulled him out of the alley and quickly left this strange place after boarding his car.
In the car, Yuan Xia was still a little stunned. "I have known you for so long and I didn’t know that you knew how to fight."
"I’ve known since young. I learned it from my master. I didn’t tell you before, but my master is a monk. He came from Shaolin Temple. I followed him at the age of eight. He taught me almost everything I learned in my life. However, in order to learn his martial arts, I suffered a lot." Wang Cheng wrinkled his features, martial arts was not so easy to learn, especially Shaolin martial arts.
"I really thought that your master was an ordinary monk. I did not expect him to come from Shaolin Temple. I used to think that the martial arts of Shaolin Temple was only a legend." Yuan Xia envied him, but unfortunately, he was too old, or else he would want to learn some ways to defend himself.
"Yes, what just happened?"
"I also don’t know. I didn’t have a class in the afternoon, so I wanted to find him for dinner, but he happened to have an emergency meeting. I found a place to have lunch for myself, and found that someone was following me. Those people knew that I had found out and wanted to kidnap me. "
Wang Cheng knew that ‘him’ was referring to his lover. "So how did you think of calling me?"
"I pressed the speed dial in a hurry, I didn’t even know whose number I pressed. Fortunately, you helped me a lot." Yuan Xia said this with a bitter smile, it was fine. He didn't want him to worry, he was anxious for him.
Wang Cheng was surprised: "It's a great honor. I never thought I could be your speed dial." Yuan Xia laughed at him, "You're too exaggerating."
"No exaggeration, you are the first friend I made."
"Oh, what about your boss?" Yuan Xia joked.
"Ahem, he's not a friend."
"It's a lover."
Wang Cheng shook his head in disapproval. "You said that you are usually a gentle and considerate person. How come you are also suffering this kind of problem?"
Yuan Xia laughed when he heard him mutter the word ‘Yes’.
Wang Cheng drove the car to an office building according to his instructions. The building was where his older brother's previous branch was located. Wang Cheng was uneasy about it and insisted to accompany him. Yuan Xia was so moved that he couldn’t refuse. They took the elevator to the 51st floor, and when they came out of the elevator, Wang Chengcheng saw the two words ‘Hongyu Group’. The name was a little familiar, as if he had heard it before, but he couldn't remember where.
"I'm here, you can be rest assured and go home. I delayed you so much, next time I will take the opportunity to compensate you." Yuan Xia turned and said to Wang Cheng.
"What is compensation between friends." Wang Cheng waved his hand. "Then I’ll leave first."
"Be careful on the road."
After leaving the building, Wang Cheng glanced back. Although Yuan Xia didn't say it, he knew that Yuan Xia probably knew who wanted to kidnap him. Since he didn't plan to say it, he didn't ask much. Yuan Xia was an adult, after experiencing this encounter, he should be vigilant in the future.
Wang Cheng returned home more than an hour later than expected. Chu Yifeng thought he was home and sent him a message. Wang Cheng replied to tell him he was still on the road. Because the car was not suitable for calling, he didn't ask him carefully. It wasn’t until the evening that Chu Yifeng could call him while he was on his phone. Wang Cheng didn’t hide it from him and told him about Yuan Xia.
"Don't mix up with this matter."
"You know what's going on?" Wang Cheng heard something in his words.
"The rich families, understand?"
Wang Chengs understood in a second that this rich family certainly did not refer to Yuan Xia, most likely it was Yuan Xia's lover. When he sent Yuan Xia to the company, he thought his lover was just an ordinary employee of Hongyu Group. Now it seemed likely that he was the president. CEOs and other big names were nothing but trouble.
"Well, the rich families are really complicated. Boss Chu, shouldn't your family be the same as Yuan Xia's lover’s?" Although Wang Cheng was in love for the first time, he didn't want to be the same as Yuan Xia.
Chu Yifeng's laughter came, "You can rest assured that my family is not so vulgar and uncomfortable, and will not use this kind of nasty method. You will know when you contact them later."
"This commitment is really too much, can it not be?" Wang Cheng didn't expect to talk about the topic of family so early, but he just owed it.
"After getting on my boat, do you think you can get down easily?"
"Although it is a fact, don't say it so plainly, at least leave me some room for imagination." Wang Cheng gagged.
Unfortunately, his trick was long seen through by Chu Yifeng.
